she did relate to george zimmerman. so i think it was -- race was that elephant in the room that made its way into the jury room. >> mark, you said after jury selection when there was no african-american on the jury, you said this trial is over. >> and we saw that it was. i mean, there is no way that you can divorce race from the criminal justice system in america. i don't care where you are, where you're trying a case, race is absolutely the central feature of the criminal justice system. it has been for over 100 years. it is as much today as it ever has been. i mean, we may not overtly talk about it. we may not overtly have the same kinds of discussions that we had 20 or 30 years ago, but for anybody, and i love sunny. >> how can you say that, though? >> you do? >> i say that, she was just naive. the idea that somehow this case wasn't going to be played against a racial backdrop to me was just -- >> mark, to play devil's advocate, how can you say that, that race is at the core of everything in the criminal justice sys
